Anyone know whats going on this guy? I just noticed he starting fighting again at the end of last year. He looked like an ok prospect..nothing special but I was interested to see how he went stepping up. Which still hasnt happen for some reason.
Not according to boxrec...I didnt think any of those dudes were at 140 anyway. He only just fought in december of last year..but his career seems very stop start up until that point.
rock never lost as a pro, nor, to my knowledge, did he ever suspend his career. his activity dwindled to only a couple of fights in 2007, if memory serves. then he posted a couple of uninspired wins in 2008. he was really looking like a hot prospect there from 2005-2006. he rattled off a nice string of victories, but never really stepped up his opposition enough to test himself or learn how to box a better class of fighter. i hope he stays at 140 and doesn't move to welter, as he was talking about from the start of his career. he doesn't have the frame to support the jump. he needs to be lean to maintain his speed and flexibility. additionally, the lack of real knockout power would be more of an impediment if he had to fight consistently with a disadvatage in reach/range...as would often be the case at welterweight.
Jesus, related to B-hop? No. Lost as a pro? No. Related to Nazeem Richardson? Yes, Rock Allen is his son and he trains him.
ROck Allen is a junior welterweight and the chin checkers are Super middles.. Anyway Allen is no worldbeater.
ne one know y his brother quite fighting. i remember in the amateurs seeing them fight at the ohio state fair they were both real tough
